12.01.2022 Did you know that a large proportion of Young Adult Fiction readers are adults? The protagonists in YA literature have strong voices, are usually sparky and contemplative, often deep thinkers, confused and confident, self-conscious and outgoing They deal with a range of life issues and events sometimes on other planets all while struggling with the usual coming of age problem of teenagers. Who of us can’t relate to that?!? Reading YA allows us to indulge in complex and ...well written stories, relate to young people and experience the nostaligia of youth Found by Author Fleur Ferris is no exception this is a fast paced wild ride where family secrets are dramatically exposed and our young protagonist’s quite, predictably rural life is totally turned on its head and that is just the first chapter! Come and meet the author on Thursday 12 Nov at 7.30pm! https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fleur-ferris-in-conversatio
